"Hey Grimm...that cat's been following us for the past five blocks." Murmured a tall, thin man as he glanced over his shoulder, his single violet eye staring at an orange tabby cat with odd brown eyes.
"It's a cat, Nnoi...what, you're scared of a cat now?" Replied his broad shouldered, blue haired companion as he turned to look at the cat as well, "He's kinda cute if ya ask me." He said, moving towards the tabby who decided to sit down, blinking wide, chocolate colored eyes up at him. He leaned down and lifted the little tabby up, smirking when it started to purr.
"You and your damned cat fetish...you're a freak Grimm." The tall man grumbled as he crossed his arms, though he jumped when the cat hissed at him, "Holy hell...I think it can understand me..."
"Well duh, moron. Cats ain't stupid...right boy?" The man holding the cat said, looking at the cat and scratching his ears when he spoke the last two words.
Said cat purred and leaned into the scratching, it's long, orange tail swishing out behind him as he gently flexed his claws against the man's shoulder.
"Awww...I think he likes me~" The blue haired man said as his friend rolled his eye and shook his head.
"Put the cat down, Grimm, I dun think your sister wants anymore cats in the house." The tall man said as he shifted his weight slightly, getting a little freaked out at his friend's odd fascination with the cat, though he should have been used to it.
"Awww...Neliel wun mind one more...sides...this one really likes me. I c'n tell." He stated as he started to walk again, still holding the orange tabby.
The tall man sighed and rolled his eye once agfain before looking at the cat who grinned, "Holy shit! Grimm! That cat just grinned at me! IT'S MOCKING ME!" He shrieked.
The blue-haired man blinked and looked at the cat who just mewed and batted playfully at his nose before glancing back at his friend and raising a brow, "Er...Nnoitra...cat's don't grin and mock people..." He said, not noticing the cat grinning again and even going as far as to wink at Nnoitra.
"AH! Now it winked at me! I'm outta here! You have fun with your demon cat!" Nnoitra snapped before turning and striding away from his friend and the so called 'demon' cat.
The blue-haired man blinked and looked back at the tabby he was holding, smirking a bit when it mewed curiously and tilted it's head, "Awww...you ain't a demon cat. You're sweet." He cooed softly before starting for his home again.
As the man walked, inside, the cat was cheering, for the cat wasn't actually a cat.
"Neliel! I'm home!" The blue haired man called into the small house he shared with his sister as he stroked his new friend's head.
"Grimmjow! I said no more cats!" The man's sister, Neliel, yelled at him from the doorway to the kitchen. She stood there with her hands on her curved hips, glaring at the man.
Grimmjow frowned and looked at his sister, still petting the cat. He knew that people didn't always know the two were siblings considering how different they looked. Both of them were tall, but that was where the similarities ended. Neliel was curvy with wide hips, a slim waist, and a large bust. She had long, wavy, sea-foam green hair, wide grey eyes, and a pink birthmark stretching over her nose and under her eyes. She was almost ever man's wet dream come true, least until someone got to know her. Grimmjow, on the other hand, was, to put it simply, buff. He had sky blue hair that looked as if he had been standing in the middle of a hurricane. His eyes were bright ocean blue and always full of mischievousness, and his mouth was always curved into a wide, feral grin. He also had a birthmark, well, it was two for him. His birthmarks were in the form of two jagged, teal marks, one on the outside corner of each eye. Unless someone knew them personally and knew they were siblings, they'd never guess they were.
"Grimm...you already have like five cats running around." Neliel sighed, pushing a lock of hair over her shoulder.
"But look at him Nel! He's different!" Grimmjow insisted, shoving the cat in his older sister's face.
She blinked a little and looked at the cat, taking in his solid orange fur and brown eyes. He mewed softly at her, his big eyes shimmering lightly as he dropped his ears and hung there in Grimmjow's hands looking pitiful. A sigh escaped the woman and she shook her head but patted the cat on the head, "Fine...but you keep him in your room please." She conceited before turning to go back in the kitchen.
Grimmjow grinned and bolted up the stairs, holding his new cat to his chest, "Good job, Kitty." He whispered before heading into his room and setting the orange cat on his big western style bed, "Now. You gotta stay in here when I'm not around, ok? If not, Nel might make me get rid of all my cats." He said as he watched the tabby. He blinked a little when the feline nodded before starting to lick at his paw, "You c'n really understand me...c'n't you?" He asked, his eyes widening a bit when the cat nodded again, "Damn...Nnoitra wasn't shittin me..." He muttered as he watched the cat move and make itself comfortable on one of his pillows before Neliel called him down for dinner, "Be good now, kitty, and I'll bring some dinner for ya when I'm done." He said before standing and leaving the room.
Once the door was shut, the cat waited a few moments before grinning. Slowly, the cat's form started to grow until it was no longer a cat laying there, but instead a young looking man. The man stretched a bit before shaking his head a bit, his shaggy orange hair flopping around a bit before settling. The man had smooth looking honey tan skin, cocoa colored eyes, and a runner's build. He was currently nude after having shifted forms, but he didn't seem to mind as a sly grin curled over his face, "I can't believe I'm in his fucking room..." He murmured to himself as he sat up and stretched his arms over his head before flopping back down and inhaling deeply, "Oh fuck he smells good..." He groaned, hugging the blue-haired man's pillow to his chest, "I can't believe that actually worked! That was fun messin with his friend though." He said with a low laugh, "Guess I can explore a bit while he eats..."
With that decided, the man slid off the bed and put an ear to the door to make sure all was quiet before he moved to start exploring the room. Call him a stalker, but in Grimmjow's room, he was ecstatic! He silently explored the nice sized room, taking in the soft blue carpets, navy blue walls, big, blue sheeted, western style bed, mahogany desk, dresser and nightstands, and every bit of clothing carefully put away. He had a feeling that Grimmjow's sister cleaned in here.
The man sighed softly and sat back on the bed in time to hear footsteps climbing the stairs. He whipped his head towards the door and quickly changed his form into that of an orange tabby and curled on the center of the bed right before the door swung open, revealing Grimmjow on the other side with a bowl in one hand.
The tabby mewled and hopped off the bed, trotting over to him to rub up against his legs and purring softly. Grimmjow chuckled a bit and knelt down to pet him, "Hey Kitty. I got ya somethin ta eat." He said, setting the bowl down on the floor before heading over to the bed. The tabby watched him move, inwardly shuddering and groaning at the sight before turning to the bowl. He trotted over to it and sniffed a bit at the contents.
i'Hmmm...some miso soup?...not best for a cat, good thing I'm not a cat~'/i The man in feline form thought before starting to lap at the food, once in a while chomping down a bit of meat or something, his tail swaying softly behind him.
Grimmjow watched him quietly and frowned a bit at the sight. Normally cats wouldn't eat that. He scratched the top of his head and shrugged a bit before moving to lay down, only to notice his favorite pillow had been moved, i'Ok...now that's odd.../i He thought as he picked it up and moved it back to it's normal spot before making himself comfy while his new friend ate it's dinner, i'I have a feeling this isn't just some normal cat...gotta keep an eye on him.'/i He thought before closing his eyes and starting to drift off to sleep.
Late that night found Grimmjow laying flat on his back on his bed with the orange tabby curled contently on his chest, purring like a motorboat as he slept. Grimmjow murmured something in his sleep before rolling onto his side, causing the feline to fall off his chest with an annoyed mewl. The cat batted at the man's pectoral before moving up to lay on one of the pillows, curling there and starting to fall asleep until he heard a tapping on the window. He perked up a bit and looked over the sleeping man on the bed to see a snowy white hawk perched on the outside window sill. The cat shook his head a bit before glancing at the sleeping man on the bed before motioning for the other to go down to the back yard then hopping off the bed. He gave Grimmjow another glance before heading to the still partially open door and slipping out. He darted down the stairs and to the back door where he crouched down then jumped up and unlatched the door to slink outside to where the hawk was sitting on the banister around the porch.
"Oh yeah...that's ivery/i discreet there, Shiro. Of course everyone in this world has seen a snow white hawk." The cat said as he jumped on the banister and sat by the hawk.
"Oh shut up Ichigo. I like hawks." The hawk, Shiro, snapped, his beak clicking.
The feline, now named Ichigo, shook it's head before laying down and curling his tail around himself, "What do ya want Shiro? I was sleepin." He said, punctuating his words with a wide yawn.
"Pop sent me out ta find ya...well...actually ma sent pop to send me out ta find ya." Shiro said, a small snicker rumbling his feather chest.
"Well let em know I'm fine...I wanted to learn more about him." Ichigo murmured, glancing back towards the house, "He smells so damn good and he's got this weird thing for cats. He lives with his sister and he snores. Him and his sister look nothing alike. Oh, and his best friend thinks I'm a demon cat." He said, glancing back at the hawk with a wicked grin.
The hawk let out a deep belly laugh at that last part and shook his head, "Oh my god Ichi...well...alright. J'st git home soon. Ya know how ma gits when ya stay away to long." He said as he spread his wings to take flight. Once Ichigo nodded his consent, the hawk took flight and Ichigo turned to leap off the banister and head back inside, but stopped when he saw a pair of blue eyes boring holes into him.
"I knew you weren't a normal cat." Grimmjow rumbled as he stared at Ichigo, "What exactly are you?"
Ichigo gulped and flicked his tail in worry, his ears flattening on his head, "Oh shit..." He murmured, hunching down a bit as he stared at the man.
His parents were going to kill him.
